Hey Ed002, hope your doing well quick question if you have the time.
Is the interest in Isco and Koke genuine. And if it is do you think will move for either one of them January or next summer. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - See previous answer about Isco. In January 2014 Barcelona held talks with Atletico Madrid about Koke and Chelsea also discussed Koke in terms of being part of a possible part exchange deal with a Chelsea player. Atletico wanted to keep him and Barcelona looked to Rakitic instead but interest in Koke still exists from England. After declaring he would not move in the summer of 2014, interest was deferred until next summer. Manchester City see Koke as a possible long-term replacement for Yaya Toure. Chelsea spoke again with Atletico this past summer and made clear they remain interested. Bayern Munich may become interested if he comes up for sale, but again there are other factors that could influence that.}

Nice one Ed. I'd prefer Isco I don't see Koke leaving personally. I think he's a one club man abit like Gerrard, he loves Atletico.

i can't say i've seen a lot of neves. But he looked very good against us and he's played a lot of games for porto since last season while he was only 17 so there's definitely a lot of promise. Getting him or tielemans would be great for the future.

Hi ed hope you are well?
Are Chelsea interested in YARMOLENKO? Think he could be a bargain in Jan as will be out of contract in the summer.

{Ed002's Note - Dynamo Kyiv managed to persuade Yarmolenko not to move this past summer and will continue to try and get him to sign a new contract. There has been interest over the past year from Roma, Spurs, Stoke, Fiorentina, Everton, Inter and Dortmund. Bayer Leverkusen, Valencia, Napoli and Manchester City all dropped their interest and PSG, who were considering Yarmolenko as a possible option to replace Lavezzi this past summer, seem to have done the same. Yarmolenko has expressed a desire to move to Barcelona or Chelsea - and there has been more than one approach made directly to the Chelsea to gauge their interest. Right now it looks like Barcelona are considering their options for a January bid, but much will depend for them on an entirely separate matter in Barcelona. Whilst an approach has been made to the agent of Yarmolenko by Arsenal, he spent the summer screwing everyone around and there is still considerable pressure from Dynamo Kyiv for him to stay where he is and sign a new deal. I don't know if anything can be done or if Arsenal will push harder, but Spurs interest remains.}

Rumours were after Isco now lol. Take it there's no truth in this Ed? Madrid wouldn't sell him anyway.

{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid made Isco available in the summer of 2014 - although priced at a level where all but a handful of teams could afford him. They also offered him to Chelsea at that time in part exchange for a player but Chelsea were not interested. There was interest from Manchester City and Bayern Munich in the past, but right now I am not aware of any interest that remains from these clubs. Arsenal have made an enquiry regarding Isco's availability but their first choice was someone else and now that is no longer a priority. In addition to Chelsea he has also been offered to PSG and Juventus - and Juventus put a significant offer on the table this past summer, but not enough to tempt Real Madrid to sell.
I am not aware of any interst from Chelsea at this time.}
